Here's the table I have so far. Station Encounters: 1% “Hey, buddy, you forgot your bag!" You didn't, but before you can object, the man is gone. You open the bag and find something useful to the adventure inside. 2% "Shine your shoes?" A young shoe-shine boy looks up at you hopefully...

Situation: Writing an adventure where PCs are at a train station where numerous supernatural events are occurring in a Beyond the Supernatural game. While they are waiting for their train to arrive, I want to come up with a random encounter table for some things to occur. They can range from mundane...

According to Lord Coake's backstory, one of his dungeon-crawling companions held up an artifact that granted wishes and then wished for himself and all his companions to become gods. Even then it was too much for the artifact, and Lord Choake and his companions merely got longevity and his companion...

In-universe, apparently no one knows. The Dark Council in Pantheons of the Megaverse have been trying for centuries to figure out how to become gods. So far those experiments have been gaining immortality and gaining worshipers to experiment with their P.P.E. All three are very powerful, very knowle...

I would rule only if the character were a god or cosmic level entity and only as a rule of cool, for example, a Galactus-level character's armor and helmet regenerating after a huge battle with a Demon Planet. We would see first his flesh healing, and then the hole in the armor healing.

Uh, how is that problem mathmatically possible? one minute is four melee rounds, the average gun deals around 1d4*10 per action . but even with weak 4d6 per shot guns and 4 attacks per melee, that's still averaging 14*4*4=244 MD per minute per player character . At the end of which, the entity rest...

Personally I got rid of the trust/intimidate percentile rolls a long time ago in my games and replaced it with a system where a high M.A gives you bonuses when dealing with NPCs in specific situations, complete with modifiers (bonuses and penalties) depending on the circumstances (in combat, hagglin...

One thing I've noticed is that during combat with supernatural beings is the frustrating aspect of bio-regeneration. You'll have your players attempting to blast some demon for 20 minutes of combat rolls, reduce it to half of its M.D.C, and then the round is over and it's regenerated all that damage...

Some modifiers to add to the existing possession rules found in Rifts Conversion Book and Dragons and Gods.

I'm thinking that they feared they were going to be invaded and the deevils or the demons either teleported out of there, or committed suicide so that they could safely escape back to Hades or Dyvel. The characters might find the gory remains of their slaves and staff, who left on their own, went ma...

The PCs are stranded on a moon due to a mysterious disruption of their equipment. Stranded they go exploring for anything that might repair their craft. They then find a large, pyradmidal structure on this moon. Gradually they will discover that the base was abandoned by the Deevils (or demons). Loo...

Here's how my ending went: Robert Creed is giving his famous speech urging everyone to leave, and just as he gets to the last word, he gasps. And then in front of everyone, his body graphically splits open and then something made of golden energy enters his body as it re-knits. "“Ignore the pre...

I first started to notice this problem in Space Station creation rules in Three Galaxies. I had a space station in mind, and it's in a setting where it is the only piece of high technology owned by pantheon of powerful deities in a fantasy willing to invest in whatever resources are required for the...

Splugorth more of a danger to each other than others. For such a great and powerful race they relie entirely to much on lesser beings. Any race that good whoop the divine out of just about all the gods in the source book should take a more active role in the multiverse. Their use of lesser races is...

25. The PCs along with several hundred other NPC refugees find themselves stranded in another dimension, island or lost realm (a tropical island is ideal).

Page 69 in Fleets of the Three Galaxies under Disposition of Fleets, second paragraph, I quote: "While some people take solace in the fact that the Splugorth have a small presence in the Three Galaxies, currently laying claim to only three worlds...." I was wrong, it was actually less than...

None of the above, my regular character goes up against him alone. With a couple million P.P.E, M.D.C, and I.S.P, Cormal should last a good afternoon to defeat single-handedly, assuming my character doesn't tire of the fight and just blast him to atoms with one big energy blast. There's a reason I d...

They can be considered one of the great powers of the Megaverse, and thus can be as many as the GM wants for his campaign, and active in as many or as few dimensions as necessary. For the three galaxies, there is a continuity error. In the main Phase World book it states that they rule just under 10...

So far we've had four magical that played a pivotal role in the ongoing Minion War. First was Modeus' Omega Book. Coincidence? Which came first? Was the Book of Heroes created to counter the power of the other three tomes, or vice-versa? I personally would like to see the other three books statted o...

Just because someone has really high bonuses in one area doesn't mean they have high bonuses in all areas. So you have a party of unstoppable combat machines. Make them role-play instead of putting them in combat. A group of super-geniuses? Put them in combat. Super-Heroes with great powers? Attack...

Whenever I have a problem about Alignment I go to easydamus.com and look up if the alignment's equivalent in D&D. People of all alignments have their quirks, their pride, their weak moments where they do something they shouldn't. Alignment is not a personality, and characters of the same alignme...

It would depend on why they are there, if they are friendly to the Jinn, if the Jinn is even in there with them? Maybe they are in there to because they rubbed the bottle and instead of the jinn popping out, they got sucked in because the jinn is a prisoner of his prison (i.e., he can't even come o...

In my game, the PCs will be trapped within the literal Genie's lamp, the Jinn's Prison.

I think it's important to note that the fundamental issue in the entire Palladium system is that bonuses are not as high as people think they are. Most people (including the above poster) would think that +13 to automatic dodge is a large bonus. The game is written as if that's a large bonus. The p...

What's funny is I could beat that with around a 5th level Mage and either a good borg, PA or source of high Supernatural PS.

I think Nightlords are closer to Godly power than the ones in Pantheons of the Megaverse. Their matter and energy powers could easily destroy anything provided they have enough P.P.E., and those powers are essential to the gods in my games.

1. Some locals have set up a super-powered arena in a dead volcano, with invitations going to powerful combatants the world over, hero and villain.

Deific powers are pretty damaging as well.

There are plenty of websites that go into further detail about the alignments; what they would or would not do. m is the best I've found. It focuses on the old style D&D, but you can easily see the parallels between the alignments of Palladium and D&D. For example: Aberrant evil = Lawful evi...

I've finally worked out my master villain's personality: Since he firmly believes he does everything for the best, he’s very hard to turn aside from any course of action. He never makes rash decisions, and can spend days or weeks making up his mind. Nor is he ever distracted from his end goals. He w...

When constructing my high-level (17th) NPC demigods, I used Heroes Unlimited Abilities, including Natural Combat Ability and various Extraordinary attributes, and eventually when I added up all the bonuses they came out like this. 23 attacks per melee. +19 on initiative, +17 to pull punch, +15 to ro...

twingle93

Ok, maybe a little clarification is in order.

My NPCs are coming up with really high bonuses duirng character creation. They are supposed to be very powerful, but I kind of want my PCs not to be instantly killed when they go up against them.

twingle93

Great ideas. Thank you. Could an aberrant villain have a godhood complex or be delusional or power hungry enough to seek world domination? It seems that such characters get regulated to Miscreant or Diabolic in Palladium (The Usurper, The Creator, Hagan, The Bard). Emperor Prosek is Diabolic evil, t...

Think of a godd guy like captain america or batman, and then ask yourself what they would be like if they just cut loose. I guess what I'm asking is what would a non-grim, Aberrant villian be like. More flamboyant, and enjoying the evil acts he commits, rather than seeing them as regretful like mos...

While Prosek is performing his live, televised speech at the remains of the fallen seat of government in Tolkien in the Hook, Line and Sinker adventure detailed in the Rifter, you, the mage, do not go for killing attacks and make a martyr out of him. Instead you cast Giant, Curse of World Bizarre, A...

So I definitely want the villain of my campaign world to be aberrant evil. He's flamboyant and loves life, but still does commit evil acts such as the occasional major disaster in the interests of creating a more organized empire, i.e the ends justifies the means. He is still egotistical, decadent a...

Dinosaurs are fairly common on this world, so I imagine there is a great variety. The more primitive tribes would settle for spikes, and wooden armor, (like the game Paraworld) while the more technologically advanced cultures would attach weapons resembling what Tolkeen added to their war-beasts lik...

I'm creating a primitive campaign world where the inhabitants use dinosaurs as their weapons of war. These are some of the ideas I've come up with so far. They use dinosaurs as armored vehicles and attack machines, such biological weapons are self-repairing, self-replicating, and can be direct them ...

Call of Cthulhu gave us a list for when PCs come into possession of an artifact or tome.. It included such things like secret compartments and strange dreams.

Does any one have any more ideas for artifacts that man was never meant to touch?

Good ideas, thank you very much. This character isn't the bloodstained, mumbling-under-his-breath, dagger-wielding, backstabbing cultist. Ideally he should be mistaken for a hero. He embodies these tropes: Knight Templar Lord Error Prone Dark Messiah church militant I'd imagine this character would ...

Okay, here’s my idea for an NPC villain—a reversal of the classic good demon hunter/paladin type. It’s for Palladium Fantasy, but could also work for any of the modern settings such as HU, BTS, or NB. He’s a Van Helsing-like monster slayer who is also a religious fanatic and has supernatural powers....

Well, civilization has been greatly reduced to a relatively few kingdoms and cities, so the wilderness has had around 250-300 years to restore itself. I believe that it is mentioned in South America that the rain forests were greatly restored, and I haven't seen many factors to cause deforestation. ...

Okay, I've had really powerful characters in my campaigns, through a series of chances (martial arts, superpowers, R.C.C bonuses, and high attributes rolls), ends up with strike, parry or dodge (in some cases initiative) bonuses around 17, 18, 19, and in some cases even over 20. I know rules were ma...

Well, for a slight touch of vindication (if you care about such things), I would be interested in what you have come up with, particularly if you have tables for tailoring such a being, as I am a bit busty to come up with such.

I come for ideas, and all I get is excuses not to do something, and suggestions to replace what could be an interesting thought-experiment in testing the upper limits of what is definable in the Palladium, and instead I get people that would replace a character class with a paragraph long plot devic...

Okay, how would you go about creating a Supreme Being in your campaign? I'm not talking about Conversion Book Two: Pantheons of the Megaverse. Those gods were simply supernatural beings with tens of thousands of M.D.C, and were simply immortal with powerful psionic and magic abilities. Those beings ...
